Fort Lauderdale, FL – Oct. 22, 2018 — Keiser University is committed to helping those impacted by Hurricane Michael. The University is launching “Keiser U Cares 4 U,” a statewide fundraising effort, at its annual Scare Fair Open Houses on Wed., Oct. 24, 2018 from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at 16 of its Florida campuses.

“The Scare Fair events provide a great kickoff for our ongoing relief efforts because communities are already coming together on our campus for an evening of fun activities,” said Belinda Keiser, Vice Chancellor for Community Relations and Student Advancement.

With campuses located throughout Florida, Keiser University students, staff, faculty and alums understand the devastation caused by a major storm and the long road to recovery afterward. Students attending classes and employees at many of Keiser’s 21 campuses have family and friends hit hard by the recent hurricane in the state’s panhandle.

Many Keiser University students and graduates work in the fields of health care, firefighting, law enforcement, and other ‘first responder’ roles that have a heart and responsibility to help those in need. Also, 20 percent of Keiser students are either veterans, active duty or have military family members who know the important part the military plays in response and recovery. The Keiser U Cares 4 U is a way for all campuses to combine their efforts to make a collective donation.

To provide help in areas where it is needed most, cash or check donations can be made to “Keiser University Charitable Account.” Keiser University is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Donations are tax deductible. Money collected will go to support the Florida Disaster Fund https://www.floridadisaster.org/. As the recovery efforts go forward, Keiser University campuses will continue to raise funds through various activities in the weeks and months to come. To find out what we have planned, please visit us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram!

Each of the following campus locations will be open for their annual “Scare Fair,” and will also have booths available for any who wish to make a monetary donation to the “Keiser U Cares 4 U” relief effort.

About Keiser University

Co-founded in 1977 by Chancellor Arthur Keiser, Ph.D., Keiser University is a private, not-for-profit University serving nearly 20,000 students offering more than 100 degrees at the doctoral through associate level on 21 Florida campuses, online and internationally, and employing 3,800 staff and faculty.

Keiser University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award certificates and degrees at the associate, baccalaureate, masters, specialist, and doctoral levels.

Mrs. Percy and Mr. Williams believed in me. They were more than instructors, they tried to get to know you as a person and tried to understand your goals so they could push you towards them. And Mrs. Crawford from student services helped me find a job before I even graduated. She was dedicated to my overall success.

Jessica Kircher

Going to Keiser University was one of the greatest experiences in my life. All of my deans, professors, and staff made me feel that I was a part of something very special, and I am. I would recommend for anyone to get their education at Keiser University.

Belinda Haney

The two instructors that have impacted my life are Mr. Williams and Mrs. Percy. Both of them believed in my ability to become a great graphic designer, regardless of how I felt about my skills. I appreciate their motivation to get me to where I am today.

Justin Pugh

Beyond the curriculum of the courses, the lessons the instructors have taught me have paid dividends in my real work experiences. How to respond to criticisms, project and time management, interview skills, the list goes on and on. At the end of the day, they not only showed me how to design, but they taught me how to be a professional.

Ryan Bushey

If not for my education at Keiser I probably would not be where I am today, in both life and career. It is because of going to Keiser and the instructors I had that I joined a club started by Mr. Williams, The Lakeland Shooters Photography Group, which allowed me to venture into an amazing and very creative field that I use to enhance all aspects of my life.

Anthony Sassano

The Design program at Keiser University was filled with real world learning and hands on instruction… Based on the portfolio I created while a student at Keiser University, I landed a job in Graphic Design for a major online retailer immediately after graduation.

Ty Fitzgerald

The year and a half I spent in the program better prepared me for attaining a job in the field…As a hands-on learner, the project-centered teaching was perfect for me.

Jackson Tejada

Keiser University has given me the opportunity to embrace a career change… It has opened the door for a timely graduation and quick return to the work force…

Dale Caverly

Without the education I received at Keiser University, I would not be where I am today!

Meisha Ebanks, R.N.

I not only received an excellent education but also encouragement and training that built my self-confidence every day.

Nidia Barrios

I realize the amount of knowledge I gained and feel that the educational experiences have developed me in to a person who can move higher up the career ladder.

Carlos Ramirez Flores

Keiser University’s MBA program has renewed my mind, changed the way I think, and given me a new sense of purpose. The professors transformed my attitude and behavior, gave me the self-confidence I was lacking, and restored my energy.

Connie Sue Centrella

It has been great attending and graduating from Keiser University. Because of the small class sizes, I was able to build good relationships with classmates and professors. The PA professors care very much about the progress and success of the students and have been great advisors every step of the way through the program.

Annelise Merriner, PA-C

Attending Keiser University and getting my degree was the best decision I have ever made. The small class sizes and personalized attention helped me get my degree quickly. The hands-on experience and the education landed me a job at a neighboring law firm.

Dedrick Saxon

I chose Keiser because it had everything—small classes, caring professors, hands-on learning, and counselors that are really there for you. I feel like I’m part of a family here, not just a number.

Natalie Dou

After being denied for several promotions at my current employer, I decided that I needed to further my education. Since graduating from Keiser with my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, I have been promoted and I am able to obtain positions that weren’t available to me before.

Laurie Williams

Keiser helped change my life by getting my education at the right school! I had been going to another school before, I dropped out because I felt that I was not getting enough information. When I found out about Keiser, I was pleased because the instructors were great.

Nadege Dor

My decision to attend Keiser University has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I chose to enroll in the Information Technology program… The one-class-a-month pace helped incredibly with my self-discipline.

Marla Hadley

The BA for Business Administration at Keiser has to be one of the best in the nation. Keiser takes the basics that are taught at the Associates level and uses them to strengthen your skills and knowledge.

Vivian R. Howard, BA in Business Administration Graduate

I found that Keiser University’s Nuclear Medicine program of advanced studies and small class size was a perfect fit. I never came across a faculty member who wasn’t truly interested.
